Understanding of Plasma (Fourth state of matter)

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, different from solids, liquids, and gases. It consists of electrically charged particles—free-moving electrons and ions—that make it highly conductive and responsive to magnetic fields. Plasma is what powers stars, lightning, and neon lights, and it plays a crucial role in modern technology and scientific advancements.
